Grandparent/Grandfriend Day on Wednesday 17th October
Grandparents and other older people are very special in children’s lives – so here’s a day just for you! Grandparents & Grand-friends Day recognizes the importance of our heritage, our community, and relationships across generations. Visit the school, find out what students are learning, and celebrate with us.
11:00 am Assembly on the Astro turf 11:15 am Visits in classrooms 12:00 pm Games and skills of past 12:30 pm Picnic lunch 12.45pm Sports and games 1.30pm Event close
During visits in classrooms, teachers will have activities for both grandparents and grandchildren to engage in together. If you have a skill you would like to share with the class or a small group please let the classroom teacher know. This could be a skill such as knitting, crafts, art, etc.
A special request: Students often wonder what school and life was like when you were young. We ask grandparents to come to the event prepared to answer a few questions about their years growing up. Students may complete a few activities that look at then and now. We’d love to hear your memories and stories!
Together, playing games of past is about having fun, learning and teaching new games and enjoying each others company. If you have any games you would like to share and that you played as a child please bring them along. Games such as skip rope, hula hoop, knuckle bones, checkers and the like.
At 12.30 it is time to sit, relax and enjoy a picnic with each other. Please bring along a picnic lunch and a rug to sit on so as you can sit outside and enjoy the lunch hour with your grand child or friend. A coffee van will be available to those who wish to buy themselves a coffee or tea however there will also be standard tea and coffee provided in Area 7, located near the netball courts.
If you can attend the Grandparents & Grandfriends Day, please ensure that the RSVP form below is cut off and returned by Friday, .
We look forward to seeing you and we thank you for joining us!
Grandparent Day Song to learn: Chorus:Oh Grandma, Grandpa, you know that I love you I love all those little things that you say and do A walk through the park, a trip to the zoo Oh Grandma, Grandpa I love you Verse One:Going to a ball game, fishing on the lake Eating Grandma's cookies, boy they sure taste great Going to the circus when it comes to town Eating cotton candy and laughing at the clowns Chorus:Oh Grandma, Grandpa, you know that I love you I love all those little things that you say and do A hug and a kiss, a ride home from school Oh Grandma, Grandpa I love you Verse Two:Spending time together, talking on the phone Happy birthday presents, chocolate ice cream cones Photographs and memories, picnics and parades Saying that you love me in so many ways Chorus:Oh Grandma, Grandpa, you know that I love you I love all those little things that you say and do The stories you tell, things I never knew Oh Grandma, Grandpa I love you
